Were just a generation out from when our families used to travel with woteca plates. Its time to get back to this practice as plastic and styrofoam has found its way into our celebrations and ceremonies. Weve recently seen a commercial that stated that enough plastic bottles of water were sold in 2013 that if you put them end to end, theyd go around unci maka over 230 times. Please help us to be good stewards of the land.
